1st off: Halo did not copy UT2004 considering UT2004 is about 5 times faster than Halo could ever wish to be and 20 times more interesting and fun. UT2004 is currently the best multiplayer game on the market and it will be a while before anyone dethrones it it seems.

2nd off: Tribes was an AMAZING game and I loved it with all my heart, but I felt the original UT beat it out that same year. UT had no vehicles and stuff but dear god the speed and the fun you could have with it. Both UT and Tribes came out ON THE EXACT SAME DAY. It was a GLORIOUS day for for FPS fans, and one I doubt will ever be topped again in my lifetime. UT2004 copied UT + some Battlefield and Tribes sprinkled in, but mostly UT99.

3rd off: I just feel good inside every time I say this, HL2 is currently the best SINGLE player and I enjoy it every time I play through it.

 

Well sales of Halo compared to UT would certanly say otherwise when it comes to which one is more interesting and fun.

I kinda understand why you dislike Halo now. You're all about speed... Unreal Tounament always seemed like a game where you run firing like a madman on crystal meth. However, because of that speed, UT series loses a lot of strategy found in multiplayer compared to games Halo.

 

No only is UT2004 where personal skill is most evident and can't be covered by crutches and stuff, at the same time there is a ridiculous amount of startegy, especially in the Onslaught and Assault modes. As ssj12 said, watch some videos of pros and you will see some very heavy startegy going on. One on the scale of the Battlefield games in fact. Also on the 1v1 scale there is also a ridiculous amount of strategy, you just have to be fast enough to think and execute it.

 

P.S. UT original came out 3 years before Halo ever saw the day of light.
